Take care now;
I am going for
takuhatsu.
You stay in this
borrowed hut.

in this deep mountain…
In town
there are sounds
of flutes and drums.
But in this deep mountain
only a pine rustles.

Were there someone
in the world
who feels as I feel,
we would talk all night
in this grass hut.

at times I hear…
One thousand peaks merge with frozen clouds;
ten thousand paths have no human trace.
Day by day just facing the wall,
at times I hear snow drift over the window.

weekly photo challenge: shadowed
We meet and we part.
Coming and going–hearts like passing clouds.
Except for the marks of a frosty-hair brush,
human traces are hard to find.

a gift from heaven
the cloud-covered sky
is all open
the heart of takuhatsu
as it is–
a gift from heaven
